Dear (Name of your boss):
This is to inform you that I have accepted a position with (Name of your new
employer).
I want to assure you of my gratitude for a rewarding professional association
during my employment with (name of your current employer).
This decision was not an easy one, and involved many days and hours of
thoughtful consideration, particularly with respect to my own plans for the
future. Nevertheless, my decision is final.
Please do not make this process more difficult than it need be by discussions
of the reasons for my decision, or whether or not it can be changed.
My main thoughts are now to work as hard as possible to wrap up my affairs
here, and turn over my responsibilities as you direct. However, I would like to
join (name of new employer) as soon as possible. Therefore, I request that
you waive my termination notice, if convenient.
With sincere thanks and best wishes for the future,
(your name)
